Which is Which? The answers

How did you do?

1.) Common Raven

The longer tail, heavy bill, and longer shaggy feathers under the throat help ID this one as a Raven.

2.) American Crow

A smaller bill, smooth feathers under the throat, and duller coloring help to ID this one as a Crow.

This was the trickiest of them all.  It appears at first glance to be a Raven but the smooth feathers, and dull feathers help to ID this one as Crow.  How did you do? I hope you had fun and I will be doing more of these tough IDs in the future.  What birds do you have the most trouble telling apart? Tell us in the comments.
